X-ray. You will need and x-ray to see if you have a fracture or if it is just a sprain. If fractured, you will need to be immobilized with a splint, cast, or rigid walking boot depending on the location of the injury. If fractured, it may need to be reduced in the office or possibly in the operating room. Have it evaluated by your physician to get the appropriate treatment.

Ankle fracture. I think I just answered a similar question from you. If you have a stable ankle fracture you should be in a walking boot for 3-5 weeks. It is not a good idea to walk on any fracture (okay, maybe a toe fracture) stable or not. A stable fracture can still progress to unstable if walked on too much. A sprained ankle you can manage on your own. Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation as needed.

Get an x-ray. Twisting ones’ ankle can lead to a sprained ankle. Often times, this may result in ligament or tendon injuries which may lead to ankle swelling, pain, and possibly instability. An x-ray of the foot and ankle will be able to assist in differentiating a sprain form a fracture.

Healing takes time. I don't know exactly what had or had not been performed, but it sounds like it was quite an injury. Subchondral fractures in themselves are plenty to deal with.
